description
The 100 Year Package Outer Can presents a number of areas of interest for metallurgical and mechanical characterisation. These areas can be classed as;
| I. | The deep draw can body itself (inside and outside surfaces) and any surface treatment (e.g. aqua blasting) used to relieve stress. |
| II. | The closure weld and heat effected zone |
| III. | The bar code or any similar feature used to identify the can. |
These areas can be characterised in a number of relatively simple ways:
| a. | Crystallographic phases by x-ray diffraction (has the can manufacture introduced other phases which may influence the lifetime of the package ) |
| b. | Surface finish/topography (sites to initiate corrosion) |
| c. | Microstructure by etching (grain size and orientation, inclusions) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD). The grain size of metal relates to a number of mechanical properties. |
| d. | Residual stress by x-ray diffraction (areas of high residual stress are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking) |
| e. | Hardness (resistance of metal to deformation) |
The scope of metallurgical testing required is to investigate the 3 areas of interest identified above through characterisation techniques listed and conduct analysis of the results comparing to the existing THORP 3 in 1 SNM Package.
